The waning moon is as sharp as a sword.
When night falls completely and everything returns to darkness.
There are always some people who, despite their deep sleepiness, stick to unknown places.
In the study room of the inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion.
An oil lamp slowly lit up, dispersing the darkness and illuminating Xu Yi's tired body.
Under the oil lamp.
Xu Yi was sitting on the Taishi's chair, holding a wolf-brush pen in his hand, slowly leaning over the desk to write something.
On the left side of his desk, there is a thick stack of documents and account books, like a big mountain.
But no matter how high or heavy it is, it only makes Xu Yi physically and mentally tired.
As for trying to crush Xu Yi, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.
over time.
The night became darker and darker.
Xu Yi slowly put down the Langhao pen in his hand, rubbed his loose wrists, and then slowly leaned on the Taishi chair.
The documents and account books that were originally on the left side of his desk were all moved to the right side of his desk at some point.
"Huh~!"
Xu Yi, who was leaning on the Taishi chair, suddenly let out a heavy breath.
Then he looked deeply at a piece of rice paper on the desk that was filled with characters that were very different from those of this era.
In the lower right corner of the rice paper, several characters were heavily drawn in circles with a wolf brush.
Therefore it appears particularly conspicuous.
And this is just the result of rough statistics today.
Next to this number, there is a line of small words: "Eleven granaries have not yet been counted."
A total of twenty-six granaries, large and small, were seized during this raid.
Eleven of these granaries have not yet been counted.
Just counting these grains will take another day.
The subsequent transfer will take at least 30 seconds.
By then, if everything goes well, Yao Silian should be able to return to Chang'an City from Taibai Mountain.
Just as Xu Yi was thinking secretly.
There were sudden bursts of slight noises outside the study.
If you don't pay attention, you will be completely ignored. If you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find that the sound actually hides bursts of strange melodies.
Xu Yi slowly sat up straight and picked up a thin iron stick next to the oil lamp.
Then he slowly moved the wick with an iron stick.
In an instant, the light in the study became brighter and darker as Xu Yi's movements slowly fluctuated.
After fiddling with it several times, Xu Yi slowly stood up and walked out of the study with an oil lamp.
The moment he walked into the bedroom with his portable oil lamp.
The entire inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion instantly melted into darkness, without a trace of light.
Bedroom interior.
Xu Yi slowly placed the oil lamp on the small wooden table nearby.
Then he sat down on the wooden bench beside him, quietly waiting for something.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
suddenly.
Suddenly there was a slight noise from the window sill outside the bedroom.
Xu Yi, who had closed his eyes to rest his mind, slowly opened his eyes.
It doesn't take a while.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside.
"Wenxin pays homage to the young master." Leader Wenxin bowed in a low voice outside the door of the bedroom.
"Come in." Xu Yi looked at the door and said calmly.
There was a soft "creak" sound.
The leader of Questioning Heart slowly pushed open the door and entered.
Xu Yi said calmly: "What big thing happened tonight?"
Since the incident in the Wang Family Courtyard, Xu Yi has reduced all unnecessary actions of Wenxin Baiwei.
What's more, all the guards are required to be on standby around the house at all times unless necessary, and are not allowed to move around at will.
This is Chang'an City, at the feet of the Emperor. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
What's more, Xu Yi has now become the focus of the entire Chang'an City.
Secretly, there were no telling how many pairs of eyes were staring at him all the time.
How could Xu Yi make such an obvious mistake at such a critical moment?
If tonight was not special, this scene would not happen.
The leader of Wenxin raised his hands and replied: "Back to my young master, the eldest princess of Dongyang will return at this time.
After that, neither the Duke of Song nor the eldest princess of Dongyang went out. "
The news that Dongyang went to the palace was eventually found out by Xu Yi.
However, this result was exactly what Xu Yi had guessed.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and signaled Leader Wen Xin to continue speaking.
Leader Wen Xin slowly spoke again: "Besides, two of the aristocratic families behind more than twenty trading firms have died."
As soon as he said this, Xu Yi's face instantly became serious.
He asked in a deep voice: "Which two are dead?"
The leader of Wenxin replied: "Yi Haiyuan, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty's official department, is selected from the Ministry of Personnel, and Bai Fucheng, a doctor from the Qing Dynasty official department in the Ministry of Rites, is selected."
A doctor from the Ministry of Officials and a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, these two people are enough to be among the best even in a family of more than 20 people.
Especially Yi Haiyuan, who was in charge of important matters such as official promotion and transfer.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "When did you die? How did you die?"
The leader of Wenxin hurriedly replied without thinking: "Both were around noon today. Yi Haiyuan died of suicide and Bai Fucheng died of accidental drowning."
"Hanged himself, accidentally drowned?" Xu Yi murmured a few words in a low voice.
Around noon, this time should be the time when Zhan Zhufang walked out of the palace.
When Zhan Zhu walked out of the palace gate, one of the two doctors behind him hanged himself and the other died due to an "accident".
This timing is too much of a "coincidence".
Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally, and then asked: "What is the reaction of the Yi and Bai families now?"
Leader Wen Xin replied: "Now the entire Yi family has become a mess because of the position of the head of the family."
"In the mourning hall, there are even servants. There is no trace of Yi family blood."
"As for the Bai family, the situation is slightly better, but not much better."
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally. In many cases, the bigger the family, the weaker the family relationship.
The Tian family is like this, and so are these large and small aristocratic families.
"Where are the other aristocratic families?" Xu Yi calmed down and asked again.
Leader Wen Xin replied: "When my subordinates arrived, they didn't see the heads of the family. They didn't notice anything unusual among the family members and servants in the house."
Xu Yi couldn't help but frown slightly, and asked: "All the heads of the aristocratic families have not seen it?"
The leader of Wenxin nodded heavily and confirmed: "I haven't seen any of them."
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally. Obviously, many people in Chang'an City will have sleepless nights tonight.
After all, the restrictions were too great. Without restrictions, Wenxin Baiwei could keep an eye on those heads of aristocratic families twelve hours a day.
You can even know how much water they drink, how much food they eat, and how many times they go to the hut in a day.
Xu Yi calmed down and asked again: "Have all the questions returned?"
Leader Wenxin nodded solemnly and said: "Go back, little master, everyone is coming back."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and said: "That's good. In the next few days, take a good rest and go."
"Follow the order." Leader Wenxin bowed his hands and responded in a low voice.
Then he slowly turned around and left the bedroom.
When everything is calm again.
Xu Yi stared at the oil lamp blooming with light on the wooden table, and suddenly grinned silently.
I murmured in my heart: "Enjoy the suffering that follows."
The moment the imperial edict arrived in Xu Yi's hands, the situation had undergone earth-shaking changes.
It can also be simply understood as - changing shapes for offense and defense.
...
A night of silence.
At Mao hour the next day.
It was just dawn.
Xu Yi, who was full of energy, slowly walked out of the main room.
After washing briefly, he turned and walked into the study.
Not long after he entered the study, a group of female members of the Wang family slowly walked out of the door.
Obviously, this has become a tacit understanding between Xu Yi and them.
In the study room.
Xu Yi slowly made his hand gesture. With the female members of the Wang family around, it would be inconvenient to get up early to practice martial arts.
.
But this is not the case with these eight Vajra Skills.
It does not have many requirements on the environment and space.
You can practice it in a small forest in the mountains, you can practice it in your own courtyard, you can even practice it in your bedroom or study room.
After performing the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu several times.
Xu Yi slowly retracted his hand and turned to look at Ke Lu.
While there was still some time, he slowly walked towards the desk.
Grind the ink, lay out the paper, sit down, and pick up the pen, all in one go.
It doesn't take a while.
The general scene within thirty miles outside Xuanping Gate suddenly appeared on the paper.
Xu Yi held the Langhao pen and slowly closed his eyes.
The scene after leaving the city that day flashed through my mind quickly.
Every place where disaster victims gathered, every porridge shack was located.
Even including every hut built by Zhou Qiping.
All appeared in his mind very clearly.
After a while.
Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and slowly drew various symbols on the paper with great care.
Some symbols represent huts, some represent refugee gathering places, and some represent porridge shacks.
In a short time, the rice paper was covered with densely packed symbols.
An extremely detailed map of Kantu was born.
Xu Yi frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment.
Slowly take away the map and place it in the upper left corner of the desk.
Then lay the paper again and start painting again.
Time always passes quietly inadvertently.
When Xu Yi put down his langhao pen, the time was approaching midnight.
"Huh~!"
Xu Yi let out a heavy breath, and then looked at the second Kantu map with great solemnity.
It is the same as the first Kanyu map, and it still shows the outside of Xuanping Gate.
However, this time the characters on the paper were much more orderly and pleasing to the eye than the previous map.
Wait for the ink to dry.
Xu Yi carefully put away the two Kantu maps and then slowly walked out of the study.
After a brief meal, he quickly walked to the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
...
The lobby of Jingzhao Mansion is particularly noisy today.
A group of officials took advantage of the free time before Xu Yi and Shi Chen arrived.
They gathered together in twos and threes and talked about yesterday's harvest.
Everyone's face was filled with a heartfelt smile.
Even Huo Chenghu and Kaiyuan Yuan are no exception.
In the huge lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, there was only one person standing alone.
He lowered his head slightly so that others could not see his face clearly.
No one paid attention to him, and he never took the initiative to pay attention to others. Update without error@
And that person was surprisingly Chang Shuirong, the Yushitai.
Chang Shuirong lowered his head slightly, but his eyes glanced at the carvings in the lobby from time to time.
"Come on, come on!" Chang Shuirong said to himself secretly.
Seeing the time getting closer to midnight, Chang Shuirong became more and more excited.
The news from that person that I received on the way to Jingzhao Mansion came to mind.
"At all costs, seize Xu Yi's leverage, even the most trivial one."
Chang Shuirong calmed down and glanced at the engravings again.
Deep down in my heart, I wished I could rush over and shake that damn grave right now.
"Come on, come on! Breath! Flow faster! Faster! Faster!" Chang Shuirong's body trembled slightly without realizing it.
interest! "
"Thirty breaths!"
"Xu Yi hasn't arrived yet! There are still ten breaths left!"
"Eight, seven, six"
"Four!"
Seeing that the moment is about to reach the halfway point of Chen hour! Chang Shuirong couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"three!"
"two!"
Just when "one" was about to blurt out.
There was a sound at the door that he never wanted to hear in his life.
"Chang Shilang, it's about to light nine o'clock, what's the point of yelling like this again?" At the moment when Ke Lu had completely entered the hour, Xu Yi strode into the lobby.
.
"Ah?!" Chang Shuirong suddenly raised his head, and a figure of extreme disgust suddenly appeared in his eyes.
In an instant, Chang Shuirong felt like the world was spinning. The person in his eyes seemed to be able to split into two identical people!
One breath!
Just one breath away!
With just one breath, he can use the topic to his advantage and turn small things into big things!
Eventually the matter became known throughout the city.
"Bang!"
Chang Shuirong collapsed on the ground, his eyes dull, and he kept muttering in a low voice: "One breath, only one breath away."
Xu Yi frowned slightly and stepped forward slowly, waiting to hear Chang Shuirong's words clearly.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Ke Lu.
At this time, Xu Yi still didn't understand what happened.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart: "You want to bring me down even though you are playing house like a kid?"
Xu Yi slowly walked towards the desk.
When he slowly sat on the Taishi chair.
Except for Chang Shuirong who was slumped on the ground in the entire lobby.
No one else made a sound.
Furthermore, it seemed that Chang Shuirong's low voice was so harsh.
Xu Yi slowly picked up the gavel that had never been used before.
Lift it high.
Then he slapped the table hard.
A loud bang of "Bang!" exploded in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
His voice echoed for a long time.
Chang Shuirong, who was originally slumped on the ground, suddenly stood up from the ground with a cry of "Soar!" when he saw the sight.
A shock! The shocked Chang Shuirong completely came to his senses at the same time.
A thick sickly red color appeared on Yi Zhen's face.
Chang Shuirong covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Xu Yi with the other. The villain complained first: "Sixth Prince!!!"
Chang Shuirong didn't wait for the words to come out completely.
Xu Yi interrupted unceremoniously: "Here comes someone!"
In an instant! Huo Chenghu from the Criminal Department! The torture chamber is loyal! Kuaiban Qu Jingyi! Strong class Tian Shuliang! Wen Boxing is happy!
At the same time, his footsteps continued to retreat uncontrollably.
The natural reaction caused by being frightened just now has been replaced by deep fear.
Xu Yi looked at Chang Shuirong and suddenly pulled out a command arrow! Throw it towards the ground!
He shouted loudly: "Get Chang Shuirong!"
The arrow has not yet landed.
After all, it was Huo Chenghu and Fang Zhong who moved faster.
The two escorted Chang Shuirong towards the center of the lobby.
Xu Yi said with full momentum: "As a court official! I disrupted the order of the hall several times! I even yelled at the superior!"
"If I don't teach you a lesson today! In the future, everyone will follow your example! Where is the order in Jingzhao Mansion! Where is the dignity and inferiority?"
Don't wait for Chang Shuirong to argue loudly.
Xu Yi dropped a command arrow again! He said sternly: "Hit the *** again! Let us serve as a warning to others!"
"Follow the order!" Xu Yi finished his words.
The three people who failed to capture them quickly rushed out of the lobby.
Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang suddenly grabbed two water and fire sticks from the hands of the yamen servant outside the lobby! Then quickly return to the lobby.
Wen Boxing looked at the two people's quickly turning back, and for a moment he felt like crying!
Obviously, obviously he is the leader of the soap class! This execution is his responsibility!
Without any time to think, Wen Boxing quickly rushed off the platform.
After a while, he ran back with a bench in his arms, sweating profusely.
At this time, in the lobby, Huo Chenghu and Fang Zhong had already pinned Chang Shuirong to the ground.
Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang even raised the water and fire sticks in their hands.
If you come a step late.
Wen Boxing didn't dare to think too much and shouted repeatedly: "The bench is here! The bench is here! Let's beat him on the bench! Only in this way can the execution comply with the rules!"
Xu Yi lowered his head and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
As for beating on a bench to comply with the rules? This is not very common.
However, it hurts the most when placed on a bench, and Xu Yi knew this very well. @
Without him, accept.
The strength is just different.
As a member of the Criminal Department, Huo Chenghu naturally knew this very well.
Zhong winked slightly towards his side.
Xiang Zhong understood instantly.
The two of them worked together to lift Chang Shuirong from the ground, and then placed it on the bench.
One person holds the neck, and the other holds the legs.
Seeing this, Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang nodded to each other, then spit into the palms of their hands.
He raised the water and fire stick in his hand high again.
"one!"
"two!"
The fire and water stick brought up afterimages and landed heavily on Chang Shuirong's butt. _o_m
Chang Shuirong, who had been shouting that he was wronged, suddenly let out bursts of shrill screams.
These two sticks! But there was no mercy at all.
"three!"
"Four!"
Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang each wielded a stick with gritted teeth and swung it fiercely!
Take sides! Sometimes it’s also a subject!
At least he made his position clear with practical actions today.
Ten sticks down, Chang Shuirong's shrill screams were already faint.
Twelve sticks down! Chang Shuirong had already fainted.
Xu Yi coughed twice, and the two executioners below instantly withdrew most of their strength.
The last eight sticks seemed to be extremely heavy blows, but in fact they did not cause any harm at all.
It can be seen that life is full of knowledge.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Carry it down and hand it over to the Taiyuan Hospital!"
Even if Chang Shuirong didn't jump out today, Xu Yi would find a way to make him jump out.
Without him, no one would want to be surrounded by an informant all the time.
After this incident, Chang Shuirong couldn't get out of bed for at least several days!
As for killing Chang Shuirong?
Xu Yi had never thought of it this way.
He prefers the idiot Chang Shuirong to the unknown opponent.
Although Chang Shuirong is a little disgusting, he is so stupid!
"Ahem!" Xu Yi cleared his throat, and the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion instantly returned to a state where you could hear the drop of a needle.
Xu Yi slowly scanned the officials below.
Then he ordered: "Except for the workshop, everything else remains as usual today!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi waved his hand, and everyone immediately bowed and left.
Hu Yuanchu, the chief registrar of the workshop, and all the workshop officials were left behind, looking at each other in confusion.
Xu Yi looked at Hu Yuanchu and said calmly: "Master Hu, if I give you two hours, how many craftsmen can you summon?"
Hu Yuanchu composed himself, stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "May I ask what kind of craftsmen you need, sir?"
"Carpenter." Xu Yi said slowly.
Hu Yuanchu thought for a while, then bowed his hands again and said, "Sir, there are currently more than a thousand registered carpenters in the workshop. Excluding some old and infirm people, we should be able to recruit 800 people."
"But the craftsmanship of these eight hundred carpenters is not too advanced."
"If my lord needs it, I can recruit some fast horses for summoning. I will definitely be able to summon them all within two hours!"
In the final analysis, because it is located in the capital, all those with excellent craftsmanship go directly to the Ministry of Works to register and register.
And some people who still have dreams are naturally unwilling to register in Jingzhao Mansion.
After all, once registered, ownership is completely determined. If your skills become advanced in the future, it will be extremely difficult to go to the Ministry of Industry to register.
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally. Eight hundred people seemed like a lot, but it was still far from enough.
As for going to the Ministry of Industry to ask for it?
Unless Emperor Zhengde speaks in person, the Ministry of Works will never give him one.
Xu Yi slowly picked up the pen and wrote an order, then stamped it with a seal.
Pass it to Zhao Shou and then pass it to Hu Yuanchu.
Xu Yi spoke slowly: "Immediately take the order, gather the fast horses, and recruit the carpenters!"
"All carpenters who apply for the job are required to work every day! There is no need to bring your own dry food!"
"Issuing a notice at the same time! Jingzhao Mansion is recruiting a large number of carpenters! Anyone who has passed the craftsmanship can arrive outside Xuanping Gate at noon to wait for orders! Anyone who comes for recruitment does not need to bring dry food! The daily wages are three!"
.
"If you choose to register! You will be the same as others!"
When Hu Yuanchu heard this, he immediately became excited and bowed his hands repeatedly: "I obey your order!"
The gap may not seem high, but don’t forget that this is only one day’s wages. As time goes by, the gap will become larger and larger!
After this incident, Jingzhaofu Workshop is bound to grow stronger! . @·No mistake first release~~
